About the Chevrolet Corvette

America’s sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette has been a legend almost since its 1953 introduction. A two-seat coupe from the start, Corvette has gone through six generations in its lifetime (1953-1962, 1963-1967, 1968-1982, 1984-1996, 1997-2004 and 2005-present). With the exception of some early Blue Flame Six models, the ‘Vette has also always been powered by a V8 engine. It is one of the few car models available that has its own dedicated museum: The National Corvette Museum is near the car’s production home of Bowling Green, Ky., and customers can choose to take delivery of their new Corvettes at the facility if they so choose.
